Warning: If you’re overly sensitive, skip this article.
There’s a blunt phrase: “I (don’t) get it up for this.”
Usually, men say this about business opportunities, but I’ve heard women say it too (which is charming).
Sure, it’s an allusion to an erection, but the meaning goes deeper.
The thing is, the phallus is honest, direct, and uncomplicated.
When the phallus encounters what it truly desires, it fulfills its mission completely. It gives itself to the process without hesitation, laziness, or avoidance.
But if the spark isn’t there, no power on Earth can move it. Promises, persuasion, guilt, or threats—none of that matters.
It knows the difference between ice and fire, harm and good, chaos and order. The phallus never lies—not to others, and certainly not to itself. Why would it?
It is what it is. Right where it belongs. Perfect for its purpose:
Protect and provide. Love and create. Search for and discover meaning.
This is why it’s trustworthy when phallus signals “Yes” or “No.”
It’s an intuitive compass—helping us see what blocks or supports the flow of Life. So, when you’re stuck in a tough dilemma, ask yourself:
“Do I get it up for this opportunity or not?”
Sincerely yours,
